Bye-Bye Boxboy came out in Europe yesterday. Nintendo of America announced via twitter this month that the title would come out on March 23rd too. They quickly deleted that tweet and the title did not come out in North America yesterday! What happened? Nintendo of America isn’t ready to say Bye-Bye to Boxboy yet. In a statement to Polygon they said that “incorrect information about an upcoming game for Nintendo 3DS was posted on Nintendo of America’s social media channels”…

The Elite Player Backpack for the Nintendo Switch might just be the best accessory anyone can possibly purchase for their Nintendo Switch. As a portable system, you generally won't need to pack along a lot of accessories, but should you want to take your entire Switch unit with you somewhere - which I have - this storage and transport solution is the best product available. Let's dive in!

Did you notice that even using the Internet you leave traces? These traces are content one sends and receives from the server and IP which can be detected by people who are interested in your location and data. Most often, among those interested are a lot of hackers and government agencies whom you don’t want to inspect your internet usage. If you don’t want to have the power not to let them do that, the only thing you need is…

With review codes hitting media last night, it is obvious that Team 17 and Playtonic Games know they have a winner on their hands. The media is playing a game 3 weeks ahead of launch? The Embargo lift date is a week ahead of launch? Developers and publishers only do this when the title they are putting out is a home run, and so far, I think Yooka-Laylee is a HOME RUN.

I've not completely finished Styx: Shards of Darkness yet but I'm having a really great time with it as I go. Very few things frustrate me in this game, and the more I play it, the more I appreciate the stealth mechanics implemented by the developers. Whether I'm using elements to sneak around, or one of the many special skills that Styx can use, I'm always having a great experience and trying to figure out how to do things differently, more efficiently, and just flat out better.

Square Enix will hold a live stream on April 11th at 14:oo JST for Dragon Quest XI. The Japanese release date for the game will be announced during…

With Fire Emblem Echoes on the way, I thought it would be a great time to look back at the Fire Emblem game that came out before it: Fire Emblem Fates. I was a huge fan of those games and they made me a huge fan of Fire Emblem. Why did I like Fire Emblem Fates so much? I bought all three Fire Emblem Fates games: Conquest, Revelations, and Birthright. My original plan was to only buy Conquest. But I…
